Kathy Lewis walked into the Riverside Drive Apartment Building, and pushed the up button to the fifth floor. She had just moved in a couple of days before. She got transfered from her job, being desk clerk at the Crown Plaza in California. She was now the Desk Clerk manager at the Crown Plaza hotel in Memphis Tennessee. Being only twenty three years of age, she was glad that this oportunity came up. She was about to walk to the stairs,when the elevator doors opened. Three girls came out of the elevator, two of them were talking and giggling. The other one looked like she didn't know a fly from a hole in the ground! lol- Kathy was just about to get on, when the girl that was staring off into space plowed right into her. "Oh.......I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching were I was going!" the girl said looking worried that she might have been hurt. "That's ok." she said smiling. "Hey, aren't you are new neighbor?" the girl asked. "Yes, I live in apt # 6! By-the-way, my name is Kathy....Kathy Lewis!" she said putting her hand out. "Cool, my name is Angel Mckennie, and this is Sarah Parks, and my sister, Summer Mckennie! We live in apt #5!" Angel said shaking Kathy's hand. "Cool, maybe we could throw a party or something, maybe even go clubbing! Do you know any good clubs around here?" she asked. "Oh yea, the Eagles Nest is a perfect place to party, we can go there sometime, if you would like?" Angel asked. "That would be cool!" she said smiling. "Hey, we are fixing to go to Stary Nights, to see the lights. Would you like to go with us?" Angel asked. "Oh, would you mind me going? I mean you just met me and all.?" she asked. "Are you kidding? The more the merrier!!" Sarah finally spoke up. "Great, but I'm starving, is there a place to eat where we are going?" she asked. "Yes, we are going to go to the Mcdonalds in that area." Angel said. "Great, well, I guess, I will be riding with you because I don't know where this place is at?" Kathy asked. "Yep, come on let's go!" she said smiling. They all pilled up into Summer's car, and rode up to Shelby Farms. There, they stopped at Mcdonalds, and ate. When they were finished, they went to see the lights at Stary Nights. Angel was in a daze the hole time thinking about her Nick. I wonder what he is doing right now? He would love these lights, I wished I could be with him, right here, right now! she thought. But Angel was happy for him, that he could get to tour, but it was Christmas time, and he needed to be home with his family. She still missed him though, and she knew it was killing her inside! "Angel.....Angel.....Angel are you listening to me?!" Summer asked impaitently. "What?!~" Angel snapped at her. "Hey, Ssssooooooorrrrrrrrrryyyyyy......I was just going to ask if you think Kevin would like to meet Kathy here?!" Summer asked pointing to her. "Who is Kevin?" Kathy asked. "Kevin is a friend of Nick's, which is Angel's boyfriend." Sarah said. "Oh, well....what is he like?" she asked. "Well, from what I've seen and read about Kev is that he is a shy, sophisticated, and gentleman type. He's very sweet!" Summer said. "Yea, you would love him!" Angel said smiling. "Ok, I will meet him." Kathy said smiling. "Cool!!" the girls exlaimed. After they went to Stary Nights, they went back to Angel's, Summer's, and Sarah's apartment. (yes, Sarah moved in with them) When they got in, there was a message on the answering maching. She checked the caller id, to find that it was an out of area number. "Summer will you check the machine? Brian or Howie must have called." Angel said going through the kitchen with Kathy to fix somthing to drink. "Ok!" Summer said pushing the play button on the machine.
~*The message on the machine*~
"Angel......pick up, it's me Nick. Oh well, I guess you are out with your sister, and Sarah. I was calling to tell you that I'm coming in to Memphis tomorrow night, and so is Brian, Howie, A.J., and Kev! I'm looking forward to seeing you my love! I really miss you, so if you don't get a call from me tomorrow, you know that I'm not going to call, but I'm stopping by. We are going to be in town for 3 days, and I really want to spend them with you! Well, gotta go do a show, I love you baby!! See you tomorrow, around 8:30! Bye!" Beepppp!!!!
"Summer who was that?!" Angel asked from the kitchen. "Nobody, it was just the landlord wishing us a happy holiday's!!!!" Summer shouted. "Oh ok!!" Angel shouted back. Sarah was giving Summer a puzzled look. "Summer, why did you lie to Angel? Are you going to tell her what Nick said?" Sarah asked still puzzled. "Nope, I'm going to surprise her!!" she said with a sneeky grin. "You are so bad girl!" Sarah said. Sarah was glad that Nick was coming so she could see her boyfriend Bri. Angel and Kathy came out of the kitchen with cold cans of cokes. "Hey girl, want to go to the Eagle tomorrow night?" Summer asked smiling. "Sure, can Kathy come with us?" Angel asked. "Sure, let's say....how about 9:30?" she asked. "That's cool, but why so late?" Kathy asked. "Ummmm.....because the party starts then!" she said covering her tracks. "Ok, can I come over here while you get dressed then?" she asked. "Sure, meet us here about 7:30, and you can get dressed here!" Summer said. "Cool!" Kathy said. Little did Angel know that her Nicky was coming into town!
